Well, it wasn't the day after, but I finally have photos of the completed effigy bodies, and they are uploading now.

So here are the couple I took to begin with.


I found that in order to fit the bodies onto my squishable dress form, I had to do a breast reduction on my poor dear (who still has no suitable name). While the breasts did a decent job squishing in, there was a lot of strain in doing so, and it made the chest area too rounded even with the bodies, as you can see above. So, with trusty serated knife in hand, and with guide marks so I can put them back later, I removed the cone boobs about 2/3ds through the mass. I could have done better, but it is workable as is, I think.



I found a cord I had made from a simple kumihimo plate that I learned two years at my local Academia, and it is long enough to work with my bodies. It is also blue and white, so it works nicely, even if the blue is darker. So, now it laces up pretty nicely, without too much curve to the breast, yet the tummy matches my curve alright.



I still have to make two fingerloop braids for the shoulder straps. It is hemp cord right now. But now I can really get in on the next parts of the project. I am rather behind, actually. Tonight I am working on pattern drafting, while I wash the fabrics. More as things progress.
